ANNOUNCING 2023
Medford Alba ​Student Exchange

In August 2023, eleven exceptional students, representing both North and South Medford High School, will depart on a two-week academic/cultural exchange to our Sister City... Alba, Italy! ​

The student exchange began in 1985 and has become the basis for an ever-widening circle of friends in both cities. This year’s Student Exchange Ambassadors are continuing a tradition of camaraderie that now spans generations. While visiting Alba, our students will stay with Italian host families and will partner with the "Istituto Einaudi" High School. This is a great opportunity to learn about our friends in other countries and to represent our community as ambassadors of goodwill. In a world where peace and understanding are in great peril, the 2023 exchange is of even greater importance.​

Our History

Picture
Medford, Oregon and Alba, Italy have been Sister Cities since 1960. President Eisenhower’s “People to People” program was created to promote international goodwill and to counteract the anti-goodwill and anti-American sentiment that was growing throughout the world in the late 1950’s. 

Medford’s choice of international partners was based upon the similarities of our two cities, not on opportunities for commerce. This unique relationship has been built upon close personal friendships and continues to thrive after six decades of global turmoil. It is truly a program that unites people.
